Sean "Diddy" Combs has begun teaching other prisoners how to "improve themselves" in a course he is running from the Brooklyn prison where he is being held on prostitution charges.

The course is called “Free Play with Diddy.” The rapper faces up to 20 years in prison when he is sentenced Friday, after a jury found him guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

They acquitted him of the more serious charges of blackmail conspiracy and sex trafficking.

Details of the six-week course the 55-year-old has been running at the Metropolitan Detention Center have been released by Combs' legal team, apparently to show his positive commitment, ahead of his sentencing, where he could address the court for the first time.

Combs teaches inmates about positive thinking, how to deal with failure, goal setting and shares other business information, according to the curriculum.

"The course offers exclusive insight into the journey of Sean 'Diddy' Combs, tracing his rise from humble beginnings to becoming a globally recognized icon and influential business mogul," the syllabus states.

The former business tycoon has received rave reviews from the prisoners, but none of them mentioned the prostitution offenses for which he was convicted in July in their letters to Judge Arun Subramanian.

“This course is teaching me how to be disciplined,” wrote one inmate. “I know that engaging in this course will help me become aware of my negative behavior.”

"Even behind bars and with limited resources, I have witnessed this man do magical things," said another, praising the rapper.
